Magazine
The Wide World: The Magazine for Men. Vol. lxxviii, No. 476. February 1937. London, England. Profusely illustrated magazine of short stories and articles. 80 pages of content and 24 pages of ads. 9.5" x 6.5" color wraps. Contains racist and colonial imagery and text. Cover story is "A Man-hunt in Jamaica" by J.H. Harvey Clark, and the accompanying illustration shows an angry-looking Black man peering from the mouth of a cave, a cocked gun in his hand. The majority of the art and writing in this magazine depict statuesque white men in conflict with African, Ecuadorian, Australian, and Papuan Black men. One page contains a photo and an update on the hoaxer Louis de Rougemont, who spun improbable tales of adventuring, such as riding turtles and ruling over an indigenous population as a god. The photoportrait shows him in extreme old age. The magazine's wraps are detached from the textblock and edgeworn with a small chip at the heel. Otherwise in good condition.Item #18908
